The number of menu choices can be overwhelming. Specials and other everyday items are posted on 5-6 chalkboards scattered around the restaurant.

- I got the Pizza Margherita. Yes, it's simple. Thin-crust pizza stripped down to the basics: Tomato & mozzarella. And always a good barometer of how "Italian" the food really is. Verdict? Nothing special, just OK. Tasted slightly better than it looked. Hate to say it, but I could have mistaken it for supermarket pizza.
- My friend's pizza, covered with salad greens and ham, looked more appetizing.
- My other friend's pasta dish (cannelloni, maybe) looked less than appetizing. Like it was covered with hardened, burnt cheese.
Wait staff was nice enough. Nothing out of the ordinary.
On the whole, I'd really give this place 2 1/2 stars.
